I am going on an Adventure

Nice mellow paddle with group of friends

Rock Fish Creek is a great little run through the center if Hope Mills, NC, great time to paddle is August when the grapes are in season, just paddle up and have lunch on the vine

Van and Omer going through the Chute, these guys are my kayaking buddies, they will go anytime, anyplace with me, we have paddled together since 2013.

Saturday June 12, 2021 Lumber River, Willoughby Road to US 74 Boardman. I have been working with Patrick in the front yard and getting in, out and chilling in the boat for a week, I would sit with him, than week of training on local lake, will I will say he likes it, he jumps right in and I have to force him out the boat.

Omer, is now 91 and still at it, he inspires the whole group and is part of ' "team Hardcore"

Several Different clubs showed up for a paddle and BBQ at lunch, we had a total of 27 paddlers, was great time had by all.

Went on short notice to Upper Haw River with gang, Adam found out that his boat was cracked down the center and taking water, was first time on Fluid Buddy SOT, actually was a big surprise how well it handles, it does not surf for chit.

This is lunch break island or more like what is left of it, level was 9ft, was insane run.

Jim and myself did a short trip on Lower Little River Dam #1 to Dam #2, in my new Crescent CK1 SOT, it was my first run in moving water and wanted to get a feel for the boat. it preformed better than expected even in downfall and slide overs.

Lumber River Canoe Club and Team River Runner, Pineland Chapter, did a combined paddle of 8.5 miles of twisting and turning river 4.78 ft with 387 cfs. Music by Commodores; Sail On Both Groups are a Charity Paddlers: LRCC : Me ( Scott), Omer, Van, Andy, Kathy, Denise W, Gene, Bill G, Jim and Kathy TRR: Cheryl, Christina

Putting Patrick through his class 2 white water training on the Cape Fear River, this was a low flow day, working our way up to class 3

Lumber River Canoe Club explores Gum Swap, it was a great trip, After a shuttle by Andy, ten paddlers set off at 10:00 AM on Gum Swamp Creek off Barnes Bridge Rd. in Laurinburg with a brisk 40 degrees and clear skies. Water level was somewhat low but there was good current to push us. 10 minutes into the paddle we came to our first go-under downfall. This broke us in and prepared us for more downfall ahead. Some of the go-unders were really low.... only challenging Omer to attempt them and succeed, thereby inspiring others to follow. Gene and Omer were handy cutting passages and eliminating overhead branches. Garrett was there to assist others with go unders and go overs. Actually, everyone helped each other. Kim succeeded in her first drag over (getting out of the boat and onto a branch and dragging your boat across). Paddlers enjoyed the challenges and loved the scenery of the creek. We stopped for lunch at an abandoned railway trestle site and enjoyed a nice fire to warm us for 30 minutes before getting back underway. The rest of the trip seemed longer than previous paddles on this section, but we eventually made it to the takeout at Pea Bridge Rd at 3:00 PM. Wildlife seen were deer, evidence of beavers, and pheasants near the put in. Scott shuttled Andy back to his car at the put-in. Pictures have been posted on the group FB page. We still have one more section of Gum Swamp Creek so keep that in mind. Thanks to all who joined us on this trip, and it was good to have some new faces (Brad and Laura) who had paddled with us before and decided to come on back for the fun. See you on the river. Andy

Video rights belong to Wade Harrison, I met up with Wade at the Whitewater Training Center, please support and follow Wade Harrison at : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Z_-RPYxc3Tav1bI7gt3lg/join The DIRECTOR is the biggest boat in the ZET kayak range! With a length of almost 9ft and a volume of 95 gallons, this boat is perfect for multi-day expeditions, extreme races, and for all of those bigger paddlers out there. Despite its length the boat is extremely maneuverable and holds a line with ease, therefore excelling on difficult whitewater. Thanks to Zet's advanced manufacturing technologies and high-performance design, the Director is the ultimate kayak for any big paddler on a whitewater mission! The outfitting is simple, adjustable, robust, and comfortable. As a result, the paddler is protected from big impacts and the boat is extremely light considering its large size. Through the use of “Zelezny Technology,” ZET has made the Director both stronger and lighter than other kayaks. Other advantages of ZET Kayaks include: 2-year warranty Minimum number of bolts and holes in the kayak Unique foam holder Light and functional seat made from a 'hybrid material' Stable displacement hull Original and progressive design Design input from some of the world's best paddlers

As stated above, he loves kayaking with me, I have been running alot of the local small rivers and creeks with him, and as soon as I pull out my kayak for a trip, he jumps in, so I thought I would take him for a small Class I/II rapids run, he loved it, but was not impressed with wave surfing, he waned more white water, we will see how it goes. Video is via a Apple Cell, so not so good.

2nd part of the trip LRCC did on 8.21.2022 The Lumber River, sometimes referred to as the Lumbee River, is a 133-mile-long (214 km)[5] river in south-central North Carolina in the flat Coastal Plain. European settlers first called the river Drowning Creek, which is the name of its headwater. The waterway known as the Lumber River extends downstream from the Scotland County-Hoke County border to the North Carolina-South Carolina border. Soon after crossing into South Carolina, the Lumber River flows into the Little Pee Dee River, which flows into the Pee Dee River, or Great Pee Dee River. Finally, the combined waters flow into Winyah Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. In 1989, the river was designated as a "Natural and Scenic River" by the North Carolina General Assembly. In addition, it is the only blackwater river in North Carolina to be designated as a National Wild and Scenic River by the Department of the Interior. In 2010, the Lumber River was voted one of North Carolina’s Ten Natural Wonders, the result of an on-line contest held by Land for Tomorrow, a coalition dedicated to supporting the preservation of North Carolina’s land and water resources.[6]
